  1. You are clearly , for reasons best known to yourself , motivated by malice . If you visited the cafe you would realise that you are wrong . Did you see her positive post in relation to the road closing for the tyre testing ? You evidently are a "know nothing little shit " who I'll warrant has achieved nothing in your sad life and cannot bear to see others succeed . Hope this helps
  2. As far as I know no report of the incident has been made available to the public. The CoC notified marshals that riders would be returning to the grandstand counterclockwise ( has happened before with no probs , eg after DJ's incident). However:- Riders should , after a red flag ,return following a travelling marshal fore and aft ,at normal road speed under waved yellow's at all marshalling points . I'm told that this was part of the riders briefing . That said , while marshalling @ Black Hut a rider stopped ( ran out of fuel) , confirmed he had retired and while the marshals were in the hut went outside , fired up his bike and set off (on cold tyres !) without permission , he made about 100yds . Race control were informed . The marshals I know would never have permitted a rider to set off ( having stopped for any reason) without an explicit instruction from race control. I know that a Marshal @ Sulby Bridge put out a red flag to stop riders returning back down the course, stopped 2 , ( confirmed by a pic in local paper &I know the marshal involved) I understand the incident leading to the red flag had been resolved and involved a single rider with no other rider involved so there would appear to be no reason for the police to attend ( so no "blame" , no possible manslaughter charge) . I have dealt with 5 offs @ 'Casey's" including 2 fatals ( single bike incidents) and the police did not attend during the roads being closed. I am not apportioning blame to anyone as I don.t have all the facts , just stating what I do know . I have contacted the CoC and others in relation to the 2 fatalities @ Caseys , in both cases the riders went in early and the initial point of impact was a culvert pipe ( and it's subsequent remains/ large rocks ) in the gully adjacent to the raised curb on the bend . The riders who went in late ( survived) were thrown onto the banking . I was advised by the CoC that there was no perceived danger and no 'cushioning' was necessary . I note that the gully was filled in with large granite rocks but latterly dug out again and Imo more of a hazard as rocks have replaced the sod/moss bank now further down the course . I have also ventured to suggest that riders who went 'off' @ Black Hut (7 if memory serves) 3 suffered with severe lower leg trauma as a result of coming into contact with the vertically sloping wall at the start of the bend which could, IMO, be alleviated by the installation of boarding . I chose ( as an Ex H&S enforcing inspector ,across) not to continue marshalling ( my job was looking after the rider , with a medic if we had one ). If , god forbid , history repeats itself I couldn't face the relatives of the deceased rider and again have to choose to be compassionate rather than honest when asked "what happened ?". My only reason for posting the above is to improve rider safety at my former marshalling points
  3. The "Isle of Man TT Marshals Association " ceased to be , without consulting it's 400-600 marshal voting 'members ' and replaced by the "TT marshals ltd " which had 2 voting members thus giving the marshals absolutely no say in anything TT/MGP related . At a EGM of the former TTMA the meeting was advised by a Mr Crellin(sp?) that the new organisation would be more democratic having 2 voting members approved by the Motorsport Team / CoC. No indication of the assets/liabilities of the TTMA ltd were provided at the EGM. The Motorsport team and the CoC now have absolute control of every aspect of the TT/MGP . Many local marshals voted with their feet as they perceive that the new organisation is run under military rules ( you obey orders/instructions without question, and shut up ) and any marshal offering any opinion/criticism will be disciplined/sacked ( see CSM Sector 9 and latterly Sector 10), at the whim of the CoC. I no longer marshal, the principal reason being the cavalier attitude to rider safety taken by the CoC ( see previous posts on MF). Just saying
  4. I was told 8 years ago that I needed 2 new hips ,still waiting , on the upside I did get a letter a week or so back asking me if I still wanted to remain on the waiting list . My GP has (I'm told ), kept Nobles aware of my 'situation'. I anticipate that I will have to go across , 'private' at £15K a pop , pity that they don't do 'private' on the island and benefit from the income stream and the post operative convalescent care costs benefitting the Island . Had a chat with someone @ Nobles who claimed the hospital "had all the gear" ( confirmed by the gastro team @ L'pool who advised me the kit @ Nobles was far superior to the endoscopy gear they had . Just saying
  5. Err , "extended" trips , to visit all the battle sites , he gave a talk about it . I stand to be corrected but it's claimed that his delay in returning to IOM added an extra airfare cost ( in addition to the paracetamol and suncream ) . He did explain that the ozone layer was thinner there though. just saying
  6. "Rob" now asks for views on Face Book ? He previously stated that Face Book views were irrelevant and would not be considered in relation to his planned destruction of the TT Scoreboard . He really does want his penny and his bun! Just saying
  7. I could point you to a property , occupied by a retired couple, comprising 5 bedrooms 9 (all en suite) with a 2 bed ( en suite) flat on the lower ground floor.. just saying , hope this helps
  8. What a disgusting post. Saved if only to demonstrate what depths this self confessed sadist will stoop to to delight in the deaths of innocent women and children .

    I was referring to the TT 'sidecar celebration'
  10. Where did HeliX say what you claim ? Personally I think the mods should ban you for posting scurrilous lies . You really are an odious little brat. Hope this helps

    TT 2023

    One could be forgiven for thinking that he has no incentive/interest for TT/MGP to succeed as an event and is more interested in cycling events if he is 'the big cheese' in the 'Grand Fondu' as some claim. just saying

    TT 2023

    Sounds the standard procedure , as evidenced by the powers that be's determination to cancel "Jurby Day" ( April if memory serves). "deliberate " ? perhaps because they were embarrassed that the local branch of the VMCC ( bunch of pensioner motorcycle enthusiasts ) could organise and run a financially successful well attended event whereas the best they could do with a £2 million + budget was get 3 modern sidecars to do a lap . Would the offer of 5% to an individual have made a difference? Just saying
  13. Have to say I do not always agree with you but on this thread I do , pointless arguing with PK ( PK demonstrably doesn't 'think' ) . Just saying

    Firm closing

    Unpleasant? perhaps but if you have had seen the way this company has behaved and made someone's life a misery for a couple of years making ludicrous assertions and claims before dropping the action it's entirely understandable IMO . The individual concerned was representing himself and would have been ruined and lost everything . Hope this helps
  15. On 26/8/2023 I paid ( @ the desk ) £20 for parking for up to 24 hrs . It would seem that Guernsey is catching up with the IOM . Just saying
